<div class="refsect1">
<a name="gdk-pixbuf-Image-Data-in-Memory.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The most basic way to create a pixbuf is to wrap an existing pixel
buffer with a <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> structure.  You can use the
<a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-Image-Data-in-Memory.html#gdk-pixbuf-new-from-data" title="gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data ()"><code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data()</code></a> function to do this You need to specify
the destroy notification function that will be called when the
data buffer needs to be freed; this will happen when a <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a>
is finalized by the reference counting functions If you have a
chunk of static data compiled into your application, you can pass
in <a href="/home/mclasen/gnome/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> as the destroy notification function so that the data
will not be freed.</p>
<p>The <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-Image-Data-in-Memory.html#gdk-pixbuf-new" title="gdk_pixbuf_new ()"><code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_new()</code></a> function can be used as a convenience to
create a pixbuf with an empty buffer.  This is equivalent to
allocating a data buffer using <code class="function">malloc()</code> and then wrapping it with
<a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-Image-Data-in-Memory.html#gdk-pixbuf-new-from-data" title="gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data ()"><code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data()</code></a>. The <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-Image-Data-in-Memory.html#gdk-pixbuf-new" title="gdk_pixbuf_new ()"><code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_new()</code></a> function will
compute an optimal rowstride so that rendering can be performed
with an efficient algorithm.</p>
<p>As a special case, you can use the <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-Image-Data-in-Memory.html#gdk-pixbuf-new-from-xpm-data" title="gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data ()"><code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data()</code></a>
function to create a pixbuf from inline XPM image data.</p>
<p>You can also copy an existing pixbuf with the <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-Image-Data-in-Memory.html#gdk-pixbuf-copy" title="gdk_pixbuf_copy ()"><code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_copy()</code></a>
function.  This is not the same as just doing a <a href="/home/mclasen/gnome/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-ref"><code class="function">g_object_ref()</code></a>
on the old pixbuf; the copy function will actually duplicate the
pixel data in memory and create a new <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> structure for it.</p>

<p><code class="literal">gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline</code> has been deprecated since version 2.32 and should not be used in newly-written code.</p>

<p>Create a <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> from a flat representation that is suitable for
storing as inline data in a program. This is useful if you want to
ship a program with images, but don't want to depend on any
external files.</p>
<p>gdk-pixbuf ships with a program called <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-csource.html" title="gdk-pixbuf-csource">gdk-pixbuf-csource</a>,
which allows for conversion of <a href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf-struct"><span class="type">GdkPixbufs</span></a> into such a inline representation.
In almost all cases, you should pass the <code class="literal">--raw</code> option to
<code class="literal">gdk-pixbuf-csource</code>. A sample invocation would be:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1</pre></td>
        <td class="listing_code"><pre class="programlisting">gdk<span class="gtkdoc opt">-</span>pixbuf<span class="gtkdoc opt">-</span>csource <span class="gtkdoc opt">--</span>raw <span class="gtkdoc opt">--</span>name<span class="gtkdoc opt">=</span>myimage_inline myimage<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>png</pre></td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

<p></p>
<p>For the typical case where the inline pixbuf is read-only static data,
you don't need to copy the pixel data unless you intend to write to
it, so you can pass <a href="/home/mclasen/gnome/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#FALSE:CAPS"><code class="literal">FALSE</code></a> for <em class="parameter"><code>copy_pixels</code></em>
.  (If you pass <code class="literal">--rle</code> to
<code class="literal">gdk-pixbuf-csource</code>, a copy will be made even if <em class="parameter"><code>copy_pixels</code></em>
 is <a href="/home/mclasen/gnome/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#FALSE:CAPS"><code class="literal">FALSE</code></a>,
so using this option is generally a bad idea.)</p>
<p>If you create a pixbuf from const inline data compiled into your
program, it's probably safe to ignore errors and disable length checks, 
since things will always succeed:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1</pre></td>
        <td class="listing_code"><pre class="programlisting">pixbuf <span class="gtkdoc opt">=</span> <span class="function"><a href="gdk-pixbuf-Image-Data-in-Memory.html#gdk-pixbuf-new-from-inline">gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline</a></span> <span class="gtkdoc opt">(-</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="gtkdoc opt">,</span> myimage_inline<span class="gtkdoc opt">,</span> FALSE<span class="gtkdoc opt">,</span> NULL<span class="gtkdoc opt">);</span></pre></td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

<p></p>
<p>For non-const inline data, you could get out of memory. For untrusted 
inline data located at runtime, you could have corrupt inline data in 
addition.</p>

The new pixbuf shares its pixels with the original pixbuf, so
writing to one affects both.  The new pixbuf holds a reference to
